Last updated : 06 February 2008 By Al Campbell
Riise was left out of the Reds' last two matches and has had a disappointing season. However, the defender is confident he can regain his place in the Liverpool first eleven.

"It is disappointing not to be playing the last few games. But everyone knows what the boss is thinking," he said.

"He likes to rotate his team and the squad. I don't like not playing, but I understand he likes to rotate.

"He has opted to field Aurelio who has got some matches now. That is no problem with me.

"I want to stay with Liverpool for the rest of my career if possible. I've always said that and I hope it can happen, but I have to play good and keeping playing good for years to come.

"At the moment I am happy and looking forward to the rest of the season because we can do some good stuff."
